Denver Nuggets: I don’t believe what I just saw

The Nuggets just lost in Portland, 101-93. They missed ALL 22 of their 3-point attempts. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, that’s the most 3s missed in a game without one make in NBA history.

Moreover, the Nuggets only made one shot clearly outside of the paint, a Ty Lawson jumper in the final minute (two of their basket were right on the left edge of the paint). So they finished 38-for-98 from the field (38.8 percent), making 37 baskets in the paint (for 74 points in the paint, a team season-high).

Unreal.

And from Stats Inc. — since 2006-07, the fewest field goals made by a team outside the paint was four. Denver made one at Portland.

Denver did play some good D on the road, keeping the Blazers to 35.9 shooting from the field. The Blazers made 14 3s (14-for-36, 38.9 percent).
